The original awk language as described in The AWK Programming Language
book is maintained by Professor Brian W. Kernighan (bwk) - the k of awk.
File FIXES lists additions/changes since the original.
While he names the windows executable awk95.exe, it is a native Windows 32
executable and runs fine on windows NT4 and Seven so suspect is ok for XP and Vista.

Other versions of awk include gawk which adds many extensions and
mawk which is often two to ten times faster. ----
